December 9, 2006 at 12:48 AM in reply to: thinking buying eventually; any risk in entering 1 year lease now? #41402ParticipantI fit the bill, moved here to rent. Had a comparable job offer in North Canton, OH. This location was an hour from my home with very little traffic. Then the San Diego offer came and the salary offer was $45k more, plus way better bennies.
What helped me decide was to take the other job I’d end up moving anyway, and if I was going to leave my little comfort zone in Youngstown-Warren, why not just go for in CA. Also the Ohio job was with a small niche company, whereas out here I am with a known commodity. Even if I decide to leave here, my career is far better off.
So we rent…
ParticipantIt’s the biggest no brainer in the history of mankind.
December 6, 2006 at 3:57 PM in reply to: Bressi Ranch…16 new homes to be auctioned off 10/21/06 #41270ParticipantI still think that’s a lot for these homes. My bigger concern would be, do they continue to try and sell the house? Wouldn’t 3K per month mean they are burning cash, and only plan to rent until the market picks back, which everyone knows is Spring 2007. 😉
We make in the 150K range, and if I paid this kind of money in rent, I wouldn’t have much left over (after paying the bills, student loans, etc.) to save up for a new home.
ParticipantI have a guy that works for me, bought a 685k house in Sabre Springs (wife and him are russian). Moved up from a condo and is only 27. In any case, he had a trusted Russian Broker that he used, and apparently she is closing her business. She apparently has hardly made any sales this year and needs to take a job somewhere. In this scenario she’ll keep her license, and keep a toe in the water, but trying to rent a storefront and pay the bills for the presence, was proving too costly.

I hear the Jr. High and higher youth groups are really good. They have been surprisingly un-pushy though.
December 5, 2006 at 9:57 PM in reply to: With this weather and a winning team, SD prices will never go down….. #41194ParticipantSdrealtor, what elementary school is that I might be interested, my lease is up at that time. If it’s OPE that could work for me. Granted I first want to follow up with my neighbors, because the convenience of moving next door is nice.
The kids know enough other kids from sports that I don’t think going from Cardiff to an Encinitas school would be a big deal. On the other hand if you are in La Costa that might be a tougher move. I’d say more of the kids they know are in schools like Paul Ecke, Ocean Knoll, and Capri, (west side). However that has changed with some of our activities.
December 4, 2006 at 11:47 PM in reply to: With this weather and a winning team, SD prices will never go down….. #41137Participantsdr, perhaps we haven’t tried hard enough, these things don’t just happen. We are casual members of a local church, and due to seemingly endless sunday baseball, have hard a time getting there regularly enough to meet people. Also I don’t think this is some vibe we give off, I just think people are genuinely more busy. She is also freaking out about the class sizes at Oak Crest. (San Dieguito Jr. High)
The tough part is my job is pretty good, great 401k matching, vacation, etc.
A good chunk of it though is living in such a crappy house compared to what we had in the midwest. Part of the reason the rent is cheap is because the landlords do absolutely nothing to keep the place up. Fence in disrepair. We have tried a few things, but mostly cosmetic, I am not spending serious money to make the place look better.
Today I received word that our neighbors are thinking about moving, and if they do would like us as tenants. Their home is literally twice as nice, and when she heard what we paid, she said so you’d come here for a couple hundred more? Wife was all over that. It would certainly make waiting out the market more palatable.
December 4, 2006 at 11:56 AM in reply to: With this weather and a winning team, SD prices will never go down….. #41112ParticipantI think my wife is dead set on leaving. Me I don’t care where we live, I was happy in Warren, Ohio, the cold weather isn’t that big of a deal to me. But if the Mrs. is unhappy, it brings the whole house down.
I can make probably $90-$95 in my line of work in some place like Atlanta or Orlando which is a helluva lot more money at the end of the day (net of taxes). In those cities I could, if I wanted to, buy a house right away.
Her problem is that the kids are only going to be young for a few more years. In Ohio we had a basketball court, trampoline, pool, etc. Here we can’t even have a dog. If buying a house isn’t sensible until 2008 or so, my oldest kid will be almost driving.
She is tired of not having any friends, it seems everyone out here is so busy-busy-busy, that nobody just hangs out.
She also hates the uber-competitiveness of every god-damn activity. She was a college athlete, and can’t remember youth sports and academics being jammed so hard at 5th grade kids.
ParticipantAs an Indians fan I couldn’t be more happy with the trade for Barfield. In fact I am a baseball junkie (particular with coaching and analyzing swings) and rarely do you see a trade where one fan base is completely jacked, and the other is torqued off.
Not that this has anything to do with housing. Kouzmanoff might develop into the power 3B the Pads have been looking for. Great numbers in the minors.
ParticipantBikeRider, I am curious but it would seem said lady could have been sued. Not that it gets your leg back the way it should be. In any case, one other item here is the profit motive for the company that puts these systems in place which of course drives up the cost of the ticket.
When I finally got around to getting a California License and plates (ignored the 20 day rule), I was leaving the Genessee DMV, and watched someone right beside me miss the light and crunch someone turning left into the intersection. Luckily no passenger in the car turning, so no injury. This person wasn’t merely late into the intersection, there was a good 2 seconds, they just flat didn’t look. Right in front of DMV so cops everywhere.
ParticipantOh I never said she didn’t deserve the ticket. I am just surprised at how damn much it costs. Damn sure preventative, and hell why not just charge $1000.
Thanks for assuming she was on the cell phone, which she wasn’t. Can I assume you have an unkept beard, are overweight and lacking in manhood-overcompensating, harley rider?
Also way to go on bashing the other person’s parenting skills. I am sure you are a model parent.
ParticipantWell the one at Leucadia/El Camino Real that worries me is the simple right turn. I was taking the little one to basketball practice at LCC the other day, and don’t know if I waited 3 seconds at the red light to make the turn. I basically halted, so that I had an easy right turn with nothing coming and turned, but I don’t think I waited 3 seconds.
I am told people over by the airport are getting burned on those and that seems like nonsense to me. I understand not wanting red-light runners through the intersection, and in particular left turn lanes but to kill the right turn people borders on money grubbing scam.
